I've recently been trying to remote follow some accounts from my own peertube instance from https://makertube.net and https://spectra.video and at first it seems as though it's successful, but shortly after the subscription disappears.

Is anyone else having this issue?

So one tricky aspect I had to solve with Loops is how we use a hashid of the snowflake id for videos, comments and replies in public links, but also deference them to their full ActivityPub permalink.

I built a `matchUrlTemplate` helper that uses regexes to match our url schemas in a way that supports `/v/abcdefg1-` and `/ap/users/1/video/1234567890` links.

It works great, and I will be bringing this to Pixelfed to improve federation support ✨

On the complexities of protocol governance.

There are only two organisations that are active in the fediverse that are a paid member of the W3C: Meta and the Social Web Foundation.
With the Social Web Foundation also receiving funding from Meta, the company that built Threads now has more institutional standing in ActivityPub governance than any of the organisations actually building open fediverse software.
Mastodon gGmbH, Framasoft, and others are not W3C members and cannot participate in the Working Group unless they are invited.

🦣 stegodon v1.5.0 is out! Huge thanks to @Demigodrick@stegodon.zip for stepping up as maintainer! Most features in this release came from their contributions. stegodon is in good hands! 🙏 Full changelog below 👇

ActivityPub vs Nostr não é só sobre tecnologia.

A tecnologia é produto total da sociedade, pode ser subvertida em favor do bem comum.

Mas tecnologia não é neutra, carrega em si os valores, preconceitos e interesses dos seus criadores.

Uma é comunitária e emula relações sociais coletivas reais, com suas contradições, mas com proteção mútua.

Outra parece ter uma gênese/origem individualista e pautada pelo defesa da privacidade individual, a todo custo. A proteção/moderação recai ao indivíduo/cliente.

ActivityPub standardization is back! The just announced a new Working Group to evolve and and related standards! This is extremely good news. It's not like all the world's federated social media protocol problems were already solved! https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-socialweb/2026Jan/0000.html

Implementing QuotePosts in Loops is taking a tad longer than expected.

I don't understand why they require a QuoteRequest handshake if the interactionPolicy is public, seems overengineered and wasteful to me.
